The Urban Tales Share Phenomenal Track “Hospital”
The Urban Tales is an alternative rock band from Tel Aviv, Israel that tells about life in the big city as a coming-of-age story. On the brink of their anticipated debut EP Two Pigeons in Straitjackets, the band share the blissful indie-rock dazzler “Hospital”, which is fun-filled, light-hearted yet understatedly hard-hitting and bold. They wanted to create the concept of being locked inside a psychiatric ward and transform it into a funny and grotesque musical, just like “The Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance which is also a huge inspiration for writing the song.
They have done it so eloquently and it’s brilliantly executed, by a band who have no boundaries sonically. You could hear “Hospital” as part of a ’90s rom-com film whilst also instilling it in the modern day, with the personality and vigour of The Urban Tales shining through in this euphoric indie pop-punk offering.
They say: “It’s about having an imperfect balance between sanity and insanity, and finding the brighter sides of it. It’s a twisted and wicked musical that’s occurring in a psychiatric ward.” It’s safe to say that you’ll be swept up with the raucous energy of The Urban Tales, as they set themselves to be the benchmark outfit in their homeland of Israel and beyond. ‘Hospital’ is a song for the ages, and that’s what makes this band such an intriguing and one-of-a-kind listen.
Felece Tillman’s debut EP, SoulFul Tales, is a sophisticated and heartfelt offering that establishes her as an artist of remarkable depth and versatility. Across five tracks, Tillman blends the timeless allure of jazz, the smooth grooves of R&B, and the sultry charm of Latin rhythms into an auditory experience that feels like an intimate conversation. From the tender nostalgia of “I Can’t Forget” to the soulful reflection of “Push Me Away”, each song unfolds as a chapter in her life story, weaving themes of first love, heartache, and emotional growth. Produced by DaMone Arnold, the EP’s lush instrumentation adds texture and warmth, complementing Tillman’s deeply emotive vocals.
What sets SoulFul Tales apart is Tillman’s ability to translate universal experiences into deeply personal narratives. Her lyrics feel lived-in, capturing the intricacies of human relationships with poetic precision. Tracks like “Just When I Thought” resonate with hope and renewal, while the melancholic undertones of “Push Me Away” evoke the complexities of letting go. The production’s organic feel, rooted in live instruments and detailed arrangements, creates a timeless soundscape that invites listeners to linger. With this debut, Felece Tillman doesn’t just showcase her talent – she opens a window into her soul, making SoulFul Tales an essential listen for fans of honest, heartfelt music.
